ant-user mailing list archives

I'm not sure if it related, but, if I have jar files in my CLASSPATH
environment variable, I cannot delete those jars. I think it is because
the JVM that Ant is running under has those jars open -- even though
it is not using any classes from those jars. Go figure.

Subject: cannot delete certain jars.
USING 1.5Beta1 binary download.
I Set a property called:
<property name="TOMCAT_OUT" value="${DMS_OUTPUT}build\dms\webout\tomcat\" />
and I try to delet that dir using:
<target name="clean" depends="init">
<delete dir="${TOMCAT_OUT}">
</delete>
</target>
However certain jars are not deleted. For jars such as servlet.jar,
catalina.jar, and xerces.jar (and there are other), I get a message like the
following:
BUILD FAILED
D:\pw\Development\src\dms\web\src\java\build.xml:16: Unable to delete file
D:\pw
\Development\output\build\dms\webout\tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar
I am positive that those files do exist. And it is not all jars. Just
certain ones.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
